NRA High Power Rifle

Overview:

The "course of fire" for these matches consist of four timed stages. A total of 80 rounds are fired for record, 20 rounds per stage, at either 100 or 200 yards dependent on which club is hosting the match. Firing positions include standing, sitting and prone. In each stage the shooter takes a place on the firing line and assumes the prescribed position. During "Slow Fire" standing and prone stages, the shooter is allowed one minute per shot to fire the 20 rounds. The sitting and prone "Rapid Fire" stages are fired, two 10 round strings for either 60 or 70 seconds respectively with a magazine change during each string.

TCSA, Broome County, Sayre, Rockdale, McGraw and Square Deal participate together as the Southern Tier High Power League. Information regarding this league is available at http://pronetisp.net/~jkosta/hpleague.html.
